4th Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

The 4th Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (Chinese: 中国共产党第四届中央执行委员会) was in session from 1925 to 1927, and was the last central committee to have the term 'executive' in its title. It was set into motion by the 4th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. This would be followed by the 5th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

Its first plenary session elected the 4th Central Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party in 1925. After this point, the Central Bureau was known as the Politburo. It was most certainly preceded by the 3rd Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
